About Deborah
Deborah Gray is a BACP-registered counsellor with ten years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties, and she also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse and codependency concerns.
She uses a blend of practical talking therapies. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can make life steadier. Deborah encourages people to notice patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or getting lost in others' needs, and to try concrete steps that reduce overwhelm.
Her background includes work with a wide range of issues, from attachment concerns and self-esteem to grief and compassion fatigue. She has supported people after physical injury and after emotional or sexual abuse. That experience shapes how she listens and plans next steps with each person.
Deborah draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centred practice. That mix means sessions can include values-focused exercises, thought-challenging, and attention to relationship patterns. She keeps explanations plain and practical.
People who meet her usually leave with short-term tools to manage anxiety and better ways to set limits. She also offers longer-term work for deeper relationship or trauma-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients; confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How Deborah uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practise small actions that align with those values, which can reduce avoidance and stuckness. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and patterns of people-pleasing.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep problems by giving short, structured exercises to try between sessions.
Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationship patterns show up now. That work helps people recognise why they respond strongly in relationships and to try different ways of relating that are less draining.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan with each person based on their goals, history and what feels manageable. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift.
The original profile did not specify which remote formats she uses. Please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They are also useful when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a low-bandwidth option for a quick session.
